Ajouter à une liste de filmsTai-Pan is a 1986 film directed by Daryl Duke, loosely based on James Clavell's 1966 eponymous novel. While many of the same characters and plot twists are maintained, a few smaller occurrences are left out. Filmed under communist Chinese censorship, some portions of Clavell's story were considered too offensive to be filmed as written and considerable changes were made.
The De Laurentiis Entertainment Group handled the production and were actively seen battling the Chinese Government and Labor boards over the film during shooting. The results fared poorly at the box office and in critical reviews. Duke believed that a mini-series à la Shōgun or Noble House would have been a far superior means of covering the complexity of Clavell's novel.
Synopsis
Canton 1839: Dirk Struan, vieux pirate, s'est converti à une profession toute aussi dangereuse mais plus lucrative: la contrebande d'opium. Il est Tai-Pan, le chef suprême de la Noble Maison, la plus puissante société commerciale d'Extrême-Orient. Mais la Chine réprime sévèrement le trafic de drogue. Dirk Struan s'établit alors à Hong-Kong où quelques années plus tard arrive son plus puissant ennemi, le capitaine Brock qui s'est jure de lui ravir son titre.Acteurs

With diplomatic tensions building and the United States facing a possible military confrontation with China, Air Force One mysteriously crashes in the desert while heading to California, killing U.S. President Jeremy Haines (Tod Andrews). While the crash is being investigated, Vice-President Kermit Madigan (Buddy Ebsen) steps up as Acting President. Unfortunately, Haines had left him uninformed of current foreign policies. Madigan must now rely on the former President's aides to fill him in on information he lacks, but the aides have their own agendas. National Security Adviser George Oldenburg (Rip Torn) claims that Haines was preparing to go to war if the Chinese did not back down, while career diplomat Secretary of State Freeman Sharkey (Raymond Massey) asserts that Haines was pursuing a peaceful solution to the problem with China. Madigan's wife Hester (Mercedes McCambridge) sees this as an opportunity to advance his career, but the Washington political community doubts his competence. In dealing with growing tensions and conflicting advice, Madigan struggles to avoid a nuclear war with the Chinese. Meanwhile, it develops that President Haines was not aboard the crashed plane after all.

California, June 1959. Paige Farrell (Lindsay Frost), a wealthy young femme fatale, has just graduated from high school and is now celebrating at rich classmate Lee's (Dylan Walsh) mansion. He tries to seduce her, but Paige ignores his affections due to her relationship with working class boy Michael Stefanos (Grant Show). Michael himself is quite popular with the opposite sex as well, as even Paige's mousy best friend Ellen Reese (Cynthia Gibb) admits that she fantasizes about him. At the same party, aspiring singer Linda Rosen (Jane Krakowski) - known for having had many bed partners - tries to perform a song, but stage fright causes her to be bullied off the stage. Vulnerable, she gives into unexperienced Alex Twining's (Jace Alexander) attempts to court her. They are about to have sex in a motel, when Linda starts to vomit, ruining the night. Later at night, some of the students drive home and get into a car accident, killing Phillip and Cecily, a beloved couple who were set to marry. Ben Kirkland (Steven Weber), who owned the car, feels guilty for having allowed them to drive the car, even though they were drunk.

The film begins with Geoffrey Griffin (Peter Falk) in the midst of a camping trip with his estranged wife Jean Griffin (Dorothy Tristan) and children Randy (Randy Faustino) and Bob (Stephen Rogers) at Yosemite National Park. His children and especially his wife are bored with the trip and uninterested in any family togetherness, despite his insistence. As the family is traveling back home, Griffin is driving the car while his wife and kids are being hauled in the camper behind him. He has a flashback to a doctor's visit where he is told that he has an inoperable form of terminal melanoma and will soon die, which is assumed to have been the motivating factor behind his initiative to take the trip, which his family had talked about doing before he and his wife separated. After becoming increasingly frustrated at his family's apathy about the trip, their reviling attitude toward him, and their trivial demands such as that he stop to walk the dog, he detaches his car from the camper and drives away, deserting them.

Dans une famille bouddhiste qui envoie deux de ses fils à la guerre, recrutés presque de force par les troupes du nord, les Việt Cộng sont loin d'être les défenseurs de la patrie qu'ils prétendent être. Les Américains et les forces gouvernementales du Sud Viêt Nam ne le sont pas davantage. Et l'on a une parfaite critique des deux camps de cette guerre. Subissant les pires humiliations physiques et morales, la jeune fille fuit vers Saïgon, où le destin semble s'acharner contre elle, jusqu'au jour où elle fait la connaissance de Steve Butler, un soldat américain qui tombe fou amoureux d'elle. Il veut l'épouser et la ramener aux États-Unis.

What's cooking ? fait se croiser à Los Angeles les destins de quatre familles d'origines et de religions différentes - noire, vietnamienne, latino-américaine et juive - , à l'occasion de Thanksgiving. Ronald, conseiller d'un gouverneur conservateur, est le chef de la famille Williams, modèle de réussite afro-américaine. Sa femme a mis les petits plats dans les grands pour recevoir leurs invités, purs représentants de la bourgeoisie WASP. Anthony Avila réunit toute sa famille pour le repas rituel, même si son père, coureur de jupons, vient juste de se séparer avec sa mère. Ce dernier est prêt à rentrer à la maison et son fils veut bien l'aider. L'occasion semble rêvée pour recoller les morceaux. Ruth et Herb Seelig ont du mal à assumer l'homosexualité de leur fille Rachel, qui a invité Carla, sa colocataire, à passer les vacances chez eux.
